    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

I appreciate everyone has differing financial circumstances and, in uncertain times, every dollar counts. However, to expect a refund for memberships in the current circumstances is most unreasonable. I am sure that the club will do the right thing by fans and perhaps offer a few free tickets or some other benefit to assist loyal fans who missed out on a modest part of this season. That said, if fans approach the club requesting a (what would be minimal) refund, in my view, they are hardly long term fans wanting the best for the club. All A-League clubs (and indeed most businesses of any description) will be in serious financial trouble right now and feeling significant pain as they work out how they can stay operational, pay bills and keep staff employed. To add to that pain by fans seeking refunds for a few missed games is very poor form in my view and may result in the club (and its hard working staff) hurting more than most. Please don't do it.

Who said they wanted their membership refunded?

Either way, the club doesn't have a legal obligation to refund your membership even though they struggled this year. It's an insult to the club, players and staff.
That wouldn't be the argument it would be not delivering part of the product they were selling. But a season membership as a package its not as clear as say a 3 game pass or tickets to a specific match.

Last time we played at Suncorp from memory. That was an awesome end of season trip. We walked out of the stadium and had a stretch limo take us back to the Gold Coast and Orchard Avenue.

Grassroots football temporarily suspended
avatar.png

FFA MediaUpdated: 3 hrs ago
Football Federation Australia (FFA) on Monday advised that, after considered discussion with its nine State and Territory Member Federations and assessment of developments today, sanctioned grassroots football competitions and associated training would be suspended for the next four weeks.

The decision will take effect from 12:00am on Wednesday, 18 March 2020 until Tuesday, 14 April 2020.
This will mean that ALL Central Coast Mariners Academy activity will be suspended during this period.
For any further information, please contact Ken Schembri via email.
Read FFA CEO James Johnson's letter HERE.
The decision comes as the latest in a series of measures being introduced by the FFA to combat the ongoing spread of COVID-19 following the announcement of its COVID-19 Guidelines yesterday and places the concerns, health and wellbeing of the Australian football and wider community as the highest priority.
FFA Chief Executive Officer James Johnson explained that while disappointing, reducing community gatherings would help slow the spread of the virus and that this was the driving factor in the decision.
“Our decision today follows extensive discussions with all of Australia’s nine State and Territory Member Federations, taking into consideration the latest feedback from all levels of the football community,” Johnson said.
“We are also taking into consideration the ongoing response by both the broader international and Australian communities which is evolving almost on an hourly basis now.
“We also recognise that there have been some recent material developments which have changed the landscape significantly, including the decisions made by the Victorian and ACT Governments to declare States of Emergency late yesterday afternoon. Today, more schools, universities and also public sporting facilities have announced that they will be closing so we have had to respond quickly to this.
“It is very regrettable that grassroots football will not proceed for the next month, but as a good and responsible citizen, we recognise that our game of approximately 1.96 million participants, has a significant role to play in slowing the spread of the virus.
“More Australians play grassroots football than any other team sport in the country and we have been able to listen to the voice of our community, through the establishment of the National COVID-19 Working Committee and our Guidelines, who have expressed a desire to contribute more to the nation at this time through a unified and Whole of Game response.
“As a game we need to be responsive and agile in how we deal with this situation, and we are working together around the clock to deal with this challenge. We will continue to assess our position regularly to ensure that it is reflective of the most accurate state of affairs and views of the game.
“I would like to acknowledge how Member Federations have worked so constructively with FFA, through the Working Committee and established Guidelines, to arrive at what is right for our players, coaches, officials, their families and the wider community. We are meeting on a daily basis and will continue to do so, taking into account the latest Government medical advice and community sentiment.”
FFA will continue to communicate new developments in the lead-up to 14 April 2020.

So no CCMA or CCU then til next month then.
